these days its so hard to have a favorite skateboarder because everyone is so good and skating is just different now, but maldonado was my favorite skateboarder for years when i was a kid. from "welcome to hell" to the fairman's video, to the first division industry section, as i said before this is kinda kid stuff or maybe it isnt i dont have a fav skater anymore and havent for years, but maldonado killed it all the way up to baker 2g. id definitely be down for a comeback!!!
